PARKING AID (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNINGS
To help avoid personal injury, please
read and understand the limitations
of the system as contained in this section.
Sensing is only an aid for some (generally
large and fixed) objects when moving in
reverse on a flat surface at parking speeds.
Traffic control systems, inclement weather,
air brakes, and external motors and fans
may also affect the function of the sensing
system; this may include reduced
performance or a false activation. To help avoid personal injury, always
use caution when in R (Reverse) and
when using the sensing system. This system is not designed to
prevent contact with small or moving
objects. The system is designed to provide
a warning to assist the driver in detecting
large stationary objects to avoid damaging
the vehicle. The system may not detect
smaller objects, particularly those close to
the ground. Certain add-on devices such as large
trailer hitches, bike or surfboard
racks and any device that may block the
normal detection zone of the system, may
create false beeps. Note:
Keep the sensors, located on the
bumper or fascia, free from snow, ice and
large accumulations of dirt. If the sensors
are covered, the system’ s accuracy can
be affected. Do not clean the sensors with
sharp objects. Note:
If your vehicle sustains damage to
the bumper or fascia, leaving it misaligned
or bent, the sensing zone may be altered
causing inaccurate measurement of
obstacles or false alarms.
Note: If your vehicle is equipped with
MyKey®, it is possible to prevent turning
the sensing system off. See MyKey™ (page
53
).
The sensing system warns the driver of
obstacles within a certain range of the
bumper area. The system turns on
automatically whenever the ignition is
switched on.
When receiving a detection warning, the
radio volume is reduced to a
predetermined level. After the warning
goes away, the radio volume returns to
the previous level.
The system can be switched off through
the information display menu or from the
pop-up message that appears once the
transmission is shifted into R. See General
Information
(page 97).
If a fault is present in the system, a warning
message appears in the information
display and does not allow the driver to
switch the faulted system on.
See
Information Messages (page 109).
Rear Sensing System
The rear sensors are only active when the
transmission is in R. As the vehicle moves
closer to the obstacle, the rate of the
audible warning increases. When the
obstacle is fewer than 10 inches (25
centimeters) away, the warning sounds
continuously. If a stationary or receding
182
MKZ (CC9) Parking Aids

The system may apply the brakes to slow
the vehicle to the new set speed. The set
speed will display continuously in the
information display while the system is
active.
Resuming the Set Speed
Note:
Only use resume if you are aware
of the set speed and intend to return to it.
Press and release RES. The vehicle will
return to the previously set speed. The set
speed will display continuously in the
information display while the system is
active.
Low Speed Automatic Cancellation
The system is not functional at vehicle
speeds below 12 mph (20 km/h). An
audible alarm will sound and the automatic
braking releases if the vehicle drops below
this speed.
Hilly Condition Usage
Note: An audible alarm will sound and the
system will shut down if it is applying
brakes for an extended period of time.
This allows the brakes to cool down. The
system will function normally again when
the brakes have cooled down.
You should select a lower gear position
when the system is active in situations
such as prolonged downhill driving on
steep grades, for example in mountainous
areas. The system needs additional engine
braking in these situations to reduce the
load on the vehicle ’s regular brake system
to prevent them from overheating. Switching the System Off
Note:
The set speed memory erases when
you switch off the system.
Press and release
OFF or turn off the
ignition.
Detection Issues
The radar sensor has a limited field of
vision. It may not detect vehicles at all or
detect a vehicle later than expected in
some situations. The lead vehicle graphic
will not illuminate if the system does not
detect a vehicle in front of you. 196

For maximum vehicle performance, keep
the following information in mind when
adding accessories or equipment to your
vehicle:
•
When adding accessories, equipment,
passengers and luggage to your
vehicle, do not exceed the total weight
capacity of the vehicle or of the front
or rear axle (GVWR or GAWR as
indicated on the Safety Compliance
Certification label). Consult an
authorized dealer for specific weight
information.
• The Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) and Canadian Radio
Telecommunications Commission
(CRTC) regulate the use of mobile
communications systems that are
equipped with radio transmitters, for
example, two-way radios, telephones
and theft alarms. Any such equipment
installed in your vehicle should comply
with the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) and Canadian Radio
Telecommunications Commission
(CRTC) regulations and should be
installed only by an authorized dealer.
• Mobile communications systems may
harm the operation of your vehicle,
particularly if their manufacturer did
not design them specifically for
automotive use. •
To avoid interference with other
vehicle functions, for example anti-lock
brake systems, do not locate amateur
radio antennas in the area of the driver
side hood.
• If you or an authorized Lincoln dealer
add any non-Lincoln custom electrical
or electronic accessories or
components to your vehicle, you may
adversely affect battery performance
and durability. In addition, you may
also adversely affect the performance
of other electrical systems in the
vehicle.
